| Kurzbeschreibung | The course presents an overview of measurement tasks in engineering environments. Different concepts for the acquisition and processing of typical measurement quantities are introduced. Following an initial in-class introduction, laboratory exercises from different application areas (especially in thermofluidics, energy, and process engineering) are attended by students in small groups. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | Introduction to various aspects of measurement techniques, with particular emphasis on thermo-fluidic, energy, and process-engineering applications. Understanding of various sensing technologies and analysis procedures. Exposure to typical experiments, diagnostics hardware, data acquisition, and processing. Study of applications in the laboratory. Fundamentals of scientific documentation and reporting. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | In-class introduction to representative measurement techniques in the research areas of the participating institutes (fluid dynamics, energy technology, and process engineering). Student participation in ~6 laboratory experiments (study groups of ~3 students, dependent on the number of course participants and available experiments). Lab reports for all attended experiments have to be submitted by the study groups. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skript | Presentations, handouts, and instructions are provided for each experiment. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 151-0908-00L | Bioengineering For the Focus Biomedical Engineering this course is strongly recommended to be chosen among the Electives. | 4 KP | 2V + 1U | M. Tibbitt, C. Labouesse | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | An introduction to biology for engineers: basic biochemistry, cell metabolism (principles of energy and mass transfer in cellular systems), cell biology (structure and composition of cells, transport processes across cell membranes, growth and reproduction of cells), cellular and molecular biophysics, quantitative tools used in bio- and biomedical engineering. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | Students that already possess an engineering background will be exposed to a broad introduction of fundamental concepts in the fields of biology and chemistry. Focus will be given to aspects relevant to research and development projects in the fields of biotechnology, bioprocess engineering, or biomedical devices. The course will highlight technically exploitable elements in biology and chemistry, to provide the basic understanding and a necessary vocabulary for interdisciplinary communication with biologists / biotechnologists. The specific learning objectives for the course are: - identify core cellular components, building blocks, and their organizing principles - quantitatively describe key cellular processes - apply knowledge of cellular processes to propose bioengineering solutions - analyze existing bioengineering technologies for industrial and biomedical applications and explain why they are used | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | Basic biochemistry, cell metabolism (principles of energy and mass transfer in the cell, biocatalysis and enzymes, cellular respiration, protein synthesis, regulation), cellular biology (structure and composition of cells, transport processes across cell membranes, growth and reproduction of cells), introduction to biotechnology tools and applications of molecular and cellular engineering. The course content will be presented in video recordings, in person and flipped classroom lectures, as well as group work on a selected bioengineering technology. The group work will be a main component of the course, which will involve a team to propose and assess a bioengineering solution on a topic of choice. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
